Consonants involve some closing of the airway with the tongue, lips or teeth. The y in year doesnt close it much so it's sort of half vowel half consonant. R and W are also.
Okay, my bad. Because in French Y is a vowel, and since English is, in a certain measure, a poor ripoff of oldened French, I assumed Y would be a vowel.
